I absolutely enjoy flying the Spitfire and I think I do pretty well with it. I fly the Spit not only for it's in game flying, but for it's valued history and good looks. Although some may say it is a "noob" plane, I disagree and think there is no such thing as a "noob" plane. I think of myself as a pretty formidable foe in the Spit and my overall score, (I think) is not too bad, averaging out at around 890 or so. (And that's with a horrible score in vehicles, cuz I hate driving)
I know of many people that can take a P-51 or P-38 and get an unheard of amount of kills in them and those are pretty easy to fly. What they are hard at, is to master.
Seriously, this "noob" plane crap should be thrown out. If you get shot down by a noob in a steady rock-solid flying machine then that is your fault for allowing him to HO you or get on your six. Shame on you but don't blame it on the plane. Fly to have fun and fly what works best for you.
They call it a "Noob plane" because its so easy to fly and get kills in. It requires less effort and less skill to as you say "master" then many of the other planes.
The spit can make a poor pilot ok, an ok pilot decent, a decent pilot good, and a good pilot great. ( pilot who sucks, will suck no matter the plane til he learns to be a poor pilot)
It is the tricycle with training wheels.
I fly the 190 alot. Hardly an easy plane to fly let alone master I seem to do reasonably well in them (this tour excluded LOL)
If you really want to improve on that ranking. Fy the other planes enough to become at least "ok" in them. Learn what they can and cant do well.
And when you go back to your spit. You will find these planes even easier to kill. (though this statement holds true whichever your ride choice is)
But along the way. You may even find as to why. Folks call the spit a "noob plane"
A pilot of just about anything else will have an easier time adapting to a spit. then a spit driver will have adapting to flying just about anything else.
But as others have mentioned. its your money. your fun.
Fly whatever makes YOU happy.
